We are working with the Law Commission to make it easier, faster, fairer and cheaper for leaseholders to buy their freehold or extend their lease. The Law Commission have recently consulted on possible measures, including introducing a prescribed formula that provides fair compensation to the landlord, whilst also helping leaseholders avoid incurring additional court costs. This consultation closed on 7 January 2019 and the Law Commission will be providing recommendations to Government later this year.<\/p>"}

The Autumn Budget 2017 announced additional funding of £400 million recoverable loan finance for estate regeneration schemes. A fund of £290 million of recoverable loan has previously been made available. Also, in March 2017 we allocated £32 million of grant to 105 estates. The priorities for the programme are to:<\/p>
- support the creation of additional, high-quality housing by enabling the densification of estates (where appropriate) through the better use of space and design;<\/li>
- create better places to help tackle the social disadvantage and deprivation associated with many existing estates.<\/li><\/ul>"}

Local authorities already have a range of powers and opportunities to create healthier environments. The National Planning Policy Framework makes it clear that planning policies and decisions should enable and support healthy lifestyles which can include access to healthier foods. Local authorities have the power to develop planning policies to limit the opening of additional hot food takeaways if evidence and circumstances support it. In considering specific proposals, a local authority may consider the proximity to places where children and young people congregate, such as schools, play areas and community centres. Levels of obesity and the over-concentration of a particular use within an area are also factors a local authority may consider. A planning application is always required to open a hot food takeaway in new premises.<\/p>"}
